GAMEPLAY_FEATURES
High octane
Hybrid combat
To survive in Tertium, players will need to master both melee and ranged combat, switching seamlessly between the two as the need arises.Every encounter pits you against a variety of enemies, each with their own fighting style. It’ll be up to you to determine how best to take them down using the weapons at your disposal.
GAMEPLAY_FEATURES
a Hive City on the
brink of collapse
From boiling hot industrial factories to the decaying water maintenance zone afflicted by constant acid rainfall - Tertium Hive is a hard and unforgiving place even at the best of times. The rich lore of Darktide is felt everywhere in the game - from the moment you create your character, to the incredible scale you will feel when exploring Tertium, to the over 85 000 lines of voice acted dialogue.
GAMEPLAY_FEATURES
Die Alone
Or suffer together
At its core, Darktide is a co-op game. Wandering too far, risks punishment by foes looking to immobilize or capture stray Rejects, such as the slavering Chaos Hound or the Moebian Trapper. Once you fall prey to such foes, only your teammates can save you! More than that, your innate toughness – your determination to press on through the pain – only recharges when you are in the proximity of your strike team.
GAMEPLAY_FEATURES
Chaos
Never sleeps
The threat of Chaos is not so easily defeated and the Battle for Tertium is just the beginning. In the coming weeks, months, and years the Darktide universe will grow, bringing with it new classes, missions, enemies & allies, and much more!

“Just another day in the Imperial Guard. Official name’s the Astra Militarum, Thing is, I’m not even part of the Guard any longer, not since that business with the commissar, the court-martial, and the holding cell.”
Class
Summary
Veteran: Sharpshooters epitomize the Astra Militarum’s combat doctrine: overwhelming firepower honed through training and delivered unflinchingly in the heat of battle. The Sharpshooter specializes in ranged combat drills, keeping the foe at a distance while bringing firepower to bear against high-priority targets. Though they can spray and pray with the best of them, the Sharpshooter is at their most dangerous when they take the time to place their shots where the enemy is vulnerable. Breathe in. Breathe out. Blow them away.

“It seems that no matter how low I set my expectations, it can always get worse. A lifetime spent in the mire, hiding from the witchseekers and the bigots in the most desolate places the Imperium of Man has to offer.”

Summary
Psykers’ abilities are tied to the disciplines they learn to stave off madness and control their otherworldly gifts. Such disciplines run the gamut from showstopping to subtle, depending on the Psyker’s personality and tutelage.Psykinetics manipulate empyrean forces with the power of their mind, repurposing it to crush heads and inflict gnawing agony on their victims. They leave a trail of mangled bodies in their wake … most of whom never had a chance to react to their danger.

“What I cannot rouse by example, I’ll instill through spilt blood. For is it not said that if ten thousand feckless souls burn in the flames of perdition to awaken the fervor of one righteous man, then the Emperor rejoices?Aye, it is.”
Class
Summary
Zealot: Preachers yearn for the release of death and arrival before the Golden Throne. Alas, it seems the Emperor yet has need of them in the mortal world and so they fight on, blows emboldened by pious rage as their lifeforce ebbs, and fury heightened by the knowledge that each scrap of pain brings them closer to reward.Preachers care not if they live or die, so long as the foe is vanquished. Their faith hardens as they suffer injury grow weaker, empowering attacks with holy wrath and strengthening their will to fight on!

“If you want to win, you send for the biggest, meanest, and angriest you’ve got. That’s me. Not these runts. They can’t hold a proper gun. Can’t hold a proper knife. Scream in pain all the time. Or just because it’s fun. Or because they’re bored. Idiots.”
Class
Summary
A skullbreaker leans into the Ogryn’s foremost attribute: its prodigious strength. He loves nothing more than to charge into the thick of the fighting, shouldering aside any “punies” that get in his path to deliver punishing, shattering blows against his chosen target. Often while laughing as the tiny, tiny foes tire themselves out flailing at him in return.
It’s not subtle, but it’s definitely effective.
More importantly, it’s fun. Ogryns like having fun.
